Conclusions :
Glaucoma affects the RGC density in the macula, and the decreased blood supply at the affected area could be the result or consequence of glaucomatous damage. Previous studies have shown a correlation between a decreased RNFL thickness and a loss of blood vessels in the peripapillary region (Scripsema et al. IOVS 2016, Yarmohammadi et al. IOVS 2016). We demonstrated that this correlation is also present at the macula.
